Milence’s Antwerp Ketenis hub — the 20-bay site that anchored Belgium’s charging map

Background record: the Ketenis hub at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges — 20 bays, CCS 400 kW, all brands, MCS now live with 2.8 MW combined capacity — is Belgium’s largest public truck-charging installation and the template for the alliance’s port-gateway strategy.

Background record: Milence’s Ketenis hub at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges — 20 charging bays at CCS 400 kW, open to all truck brands — is Belgium’s largest public truck-charging installation and the anchor of the alliance’s four-hub Belgian cluster (two in the port area, Maasmechelen, and Ghent from March 2026).

Ketenis matters beyond its size: it proved the port-gateway template — locate where freight concentrates, open to every brand, build for megawatt from day one. MCS is now live at the site with a combined 2.8 MW capacity, making Antwerp one of the first places on earth where megawatt truck charging is routine public infrastructure. The hub sits at the centre of the Benelux toll-incentive zone (CO₂-graded charges live since July 2026), giving it the strongest demand-side economics in Europe.

For Benelux fleets, Ketenis plus the Ghent hub plus public MCS at Zwolle forms the corridor triangle our Belgium and Netherlands case studies analyse. The site’s utilisation data (when Milence publishes it) will be the benchmark for whether public truck charging clears its own utilisation iron rule — watch for it.
